Ten Years in Nepal, At Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club
Oct 15, 2024
Mark has worked with not-for-profits and universities for over 25 years. Currently, he is a consultant and lends his expertise as a member of RMIT’s Human Research Ethics Committee.
His love of the Himalayan region began in 1997 when he spent six months travelling through Northern India and Nepal. Since then, he has returned numerous times to travel and trek in the remote mountain regions of India, Tibet and Nepal.
These experiences motivated Mark to devote 10 years to helping Nepali children. He founded the Logged On Foundation Ltd, which provided computer centres and education programs to rural schools. The Foundation has helped thousands of children in 30 villages in eight Districts of Nepal, including several women’s cooperatives.
He completed a documentary about the 2015 Nepal earthquake, its impact on rural communities, and their struggles to provide quality education for their children. The film won a film award and was screened at the ACMI and at UK, US, and Nepalese film festivals. Mark also created pathways for volunteers to spend time in Nepal. M.C.

Hope in a Suitcase, At Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club
Nov 19, 2024
Julie Armstrong is the Victorian Manager of Hope In A Suitcase. 'Hope in a Suitcase Australia is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers who are incredibly passionate about showing every child who enters the foster care system that they are loved and valued by their community.
We aim to do this by giving them a suitcase of their very own to ensure they have a safe and secure place in which to pack their belongings and take with them wherever their journey may lead.
The suitcases are filled with essential items such as toiletries,underwear, a set of pyjamas and a change of clothing. They also include something to cuddle for the younger children, a toy, a book to read, a journal or colouring-in books and pencils to encourage creativity and provide a distraction away from their turmoil.
In 2021 we provided 3024 suitcases, in 2022; 3817, in 2023; 5013, to worthy children in Australia. Sadly the demand is increasing every year but we will continue to endeavour to provide EVERY child who enters out-of-home care, a suitcase of HOPE of their very own'.

'Standish', At Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club, Last Meeting For The Year
Dec 17, 2024
Frederick Charles Standish was the Chief Commissioner of Police in Victoria from 1858 to 1880. Why did he come to the colony of Victoria in 1852? What did he do in his early years in Victoria? What were his major interests? His story tells us much about life during the gold rush period and in the era of Marvellous Melbourne. And what was his fate? How is he remembered today? All will be revealed at this club meeting!
